sleepy state and send your adrenalin racing when you want to relax.

Bed Position
The position of your bed is your 'command position'. You may have been told that you must sleep in a certain direction for correct feng shui, but in actual fact what is most important is not that you sleep in an ideal direction. It is important to make sure that your position is one of command so that you are in charge of your life and where you are headed.

To achieve this have a solid headboard behind your bed and have your bed positioned so that you can see the door from where you lay, but make it so that the door is not directly in-front of you.

In this way you allow positive Chi to enter but you are not right in-front of it where you will feel the full force of it and be kept awake.

You will feel in charge of your position and safe if you can see all around your room and do not have a window directly behind you.

If necessary position a mirror so that you can see the door and all who enter from where you lay in your bed.

Poison Arrows
In feng shui a poison arrow is where you are in line with a pointed corner. This may come from a spiky leafed plant of an item of furniture.

If you are sleeping with your head directly in line with a poison arrow then you may have difficulty sleeping and will benefit by setting up a feng shui cure, unless you can move the objects causing the arrows.

To cure a pointed edge soften it with fabric. It may be a quilted throw which you use or a velvet cloth. Either will stop the negative arrows from disturbing you.

Passion
If you want to be more in control of the level of passion exercised in your bedroom then introduce the colors of desire and love, red and pink. But remember not to overwhelm your room with these colors as you also want to be able to sleep peacefully in it.

It can be useful to have a few throws and cushions in these colors in sensual fabrics such as satin and velvet which can be removed when all you want is quiet and rest.

The right-hand corner of the room as you enter it is the place to put a red rose or pink crystal to attract love.

For balance and harmony in your relationships use pairs of items, such as candlesticks. Lighting candles can add the element associated with passion to your room, fire.

Use fragrances to produce passion and cooperation. Geranium, rose, ylang ylang and patchouli will all have a positive effect in this area.

These scents can be introduced as scented candles, or as aromatherapy oils which can be burnt of used in a diffuser.

Paint color
Although some people believe that blue is the ideal color for a bedroom I would say that it is a cold color which relates to water energies. If you live in a hot climate and have trouble sleeping due to the heat then blue would be ideal as it will help cool you down.

If you live in a cool climate and need to be warm and snugly to sleep then try earth tones that will promote warmth and a sense of security.

Yellow is a great color to wake up to, but not a great one to sleep in as it stimulates the brain just when you want it to switch off in a bedroom. So if you want yellow make it a sandy warm tone, rather than a bright one.
